P3000 New clone movement on Pam372


Recommended Posts

Stunning indeed. It's not a decorated 6497 movement either. ALE has confirmed this over on Repgeek. Let's hope someone does a proper review on function and quality once it's released. Exciting times ahead!

Man, that looks really good.  I think I might have to re-evaluate my "Panerai reps don't interest me anymore" position.

 

Apparently, it's a 72 hour power reserve too.  Maybe it's a really simple movement and easy to copy.

I bought one myself from toro and will be tearing down the movement as soon as I get it to do a review... I'm very curious :)

That sounds awesome, M! Looking forward to it!

i initially thought this simply a decoration not truly functional, and 36 or 48 hours power reserve will be the extreme for a rep at least for now, and later confirmed this being a truth, wow,  just so impressed by great accomplishment of this movement, i will definitely buy one after seeing some reviews about this watch, great work!!!

And the close op pics of the movement look good too, nice anglage on the corners of all the plates, the pearlage looks a bit rough compared to quality Swiss but that could also be caused by the plating process, The power reserve is great if it is 72 hours Just a shame that the p3000 is such a flat boring movement but still well done !

Nice start, but here's a few shots of the differences I pick up:

Gen has seven large visible jewels on the plates, rep also has seven but four are minuscule comparatively:

Gen balance wheel has adjustments on the balance screws that can be turned from the top, rep needs a screw driver to adjust from the side.

Gen spring retainer is a simple screw type clamp, rep has a strange concoction of a device clearly dissimilar:

Gen screws are flat on top, rep screws are slightly domed:

I'm not sure why they did not go all the way making it the same if they went this far already.

 

The 72 hour power reserve is truly exciting if it is truly the case...

Thanks for chipping in, hope they'd update this movement as they go.

 

It comes much closer that the regular 6497 but on a different plate.
